Dear Neighbor,
The long anticipated
pilot program for the #11 bus begins this
Monday, June 20th. It will run along Lincoln Ave weekdays from 10 AM - 7 PM and serve more than 40 bus stops between the Western Brown Line stop and Fullerton. This schedule was designed to correspond with the adjacent Brown Line Service and the operating hours of many of the
businesses along the route.
For 6 months, the CTA will collect ridership data and feedback to help determine whether the line will be permanently reinstated. You are encouraged to ride the #11 frequently and share and share your opinion with the CTA.
Please meet us at the Lincoln & Wrightwood/Sheffield bus stop at 3 PM, Monday June 20 and join us for a northbound ride on the #11 on its inaugural day.
